2017 Second Quarter and First Six Months Results
(firmenpresse) - MEXICO CITY, MEXICO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/17 -- Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL) (NYSE: KOF) ("Coca-Cola FEMSA" or the "Company"), the largest franchise bottler in the world by sales volume, announces results for the second quarter of 2017.
"In the second quarter, we navigated the market challenges and opportunities of our geographically diversified footprint -- delivering revenue and operating income growth of 25.5% and 8.1%, respectively, resulting in majority net income growth of 11.4%.
During the quarter, our Mexico and Central America division faced a complex environment of increased inflation and raw material volatility. Nevertheless, this division was able to build on last year's growth thanks to the deployment of our commercial, distribution, and supply-chain transformational initiatives. These initiatives are already contributing to better route planning, improved point-of-sale execution, and operating expense savings, mitigating pressure on margins. In the face of a complicated consumer environment, our South America division mainly driven by an encouraging Brazil, expanded margins thanks to our relentless focus on efficiency and the outstanding results of our commercial and affordability initiatives. Moreover, our recent consolidation of our operation in the Philippines contributed positively to our consolidated results.
For the second half of the year, we will continue leveraging our disciplined approach to capital deployment, while working intensively to expand our portfolio and capitalize on our transformational initiatives to further our goal of becoming a global multi-category beverage leader," said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
